Indianapolis authorities said Deloney surrendered at the city's police headquarters about 8:30 p.m. They said Deloney had been sought because he has family in the region, including a twin brother.

Sources told WLWT News 5's John London that Deloney has prior convictions for theft and receiving stolen property, but neither incident involved violence. A post-conviction risk assessment placed Deloney as a low risk to re-offend, London said.

Deloney is paying child support for two children, and is current on his payments, London said. He last worked at a restaurant in Hartwell. People at the Westwood Manor, on Westwood-Northern Boulevard, said Deloney had been staying there with a girlfriend but moved out this past weekend.

Eagle 99.3 reported that Deloney posted $1,500 bond to get out of the Dearborn County jail on June 8. He had been arrested on fraud, forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery on May 2 after he and a woman were accused of stealing a patron's credit card at Hollywood Casino.

"Spending the day with her and another neighbor at the funeral home today, it was a lot. And nobody should ever have to see that. What she and those children went through. And what the community is doing to help out is wonderful," neighbor Dawn Murray said.

Visitation and a funeral for Evans will take place Friday beginning at 11 a.m. at Hodapp Funeral Home in Carthage.

Deloney is being held at the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department pending a hearing on Thursday.
